Note 6 — VII.
Reading edition
Mr. Buist, of the Rosedale Nurseries, Philadelphia, has since written to the Gardeners' Chronicle on the origin of the Green Rose:—"There appears to be some uncertainty in regard to the origin of this Rose. It is a sport from Rosa Indica (the China Rose of England and Daily Rose of America). It was caught in Charleston, S.C., about 1833, and came to Baltimore through Mr. R. Halliday, from whom I obtained it, and presented two plants to my old friend, Thomas Rivers, in 1837."
